Re: [xsl] module extensibility

[Wolfgang Laun <wolfgang.laun@xxxxxxxxx>]

You have explicitly barred classes and inheritance. If you are after
reuse and structural integrity, this feature exceeds modules. And
asking for a language where importing a module (silently) overrides
declarations is, in general, inviting trouble (which doesn't mean that
it isn't a good thing in XSLT).
